Lord Prime Minister

Huangfu Yunhua saw that Mu Zihuai was in a daze, so he smiled and said: "In the court, the left and right prime ministers were separated to check and balance each other, but now the right prime minister has defected, and the left prime minister has always supported the second prince as emperor. He will definitely not be loyal to me, so why not let him go. There are hundreds of officials in the court, and I only trust you, and you are the only one to choose, so I will combine the two into one, and let you sit alone, how about it?"

The enthronement was able to proceed smoothly before because Long Lei led a heavy escort, and the dissatisfaction in the officials' hearts could only be temporarily suppressed in their hearts, and it would gradually be revealed in the future.It is not easy for the prince to sit securely on the throne. It is indeed a good idea to put some of his own people in, but this prime minister, besides himself, should have other candidates.

"Your Majesty, why not use Mr. Ren? In terms of intelligence, Zihuai is not half as good as him. In terms of trust, Mr. Ren can also be trusted."

"He can't." Huangfu Yunhua shook his head, "He is not a member of the imperial court for the time being, and taking on such a high position rashly will only disturb the court's hearts."

"Zihuai is now just a fifth-rank idler. I am afraid that people will be criticized if he is appointed as the prime minister overnight. Moreover, Zihuai thinks that he is not qualified for the position of prime minister."

"To fight against you is to fight against me. I want to see who dares?" Huangfu Yunhua said sharply, revealing the majesty of the superior.

Mu Zihuai frowned slightly, remembering what he had vowed to return to the mountains and forests after the prince's registration, but now he was a little speechless.But even if he doesn't leave, Mu Zihuai has no intention of being in a high position, but the current idle job is very suitable for him. "Your Majesty, I... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Why can't you be competent? I think you are capable, and besides, if Ren Danfeng is there to assist you, what's the difficulty?" Huangfu Yunhua didn't know what Mu Zihuai was thinking, and he just wanted to push Mu Zihuai to that person. The position above ten thousand people.

Ren Danfeng was assisting...

Mu Zihuai paused, and immediately understood the emperor's intentions, but his heart gradually cooled down.From the beginning to the end, my own value is to serve as Ren Danfeng's shield.

Now that the remnants of the first prince and the second prince have not been eliminated, and the fifth prince, who has always been unknown, suddenly won the throne, he can also guess that there must be someone who is behind him to guide him. If he appeared rashly at this time, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.

Mu Zihuai's heart was as cold as ice, thinking of the bloody robe that the emperor wore when he ascended the throne, he was afraid again.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that Zihuai promised His Majesty that when His Majesty's wish is fulfilled, Zihuai will resign from his official position, stay away from the world, and go back to the mountains and forests without caring about worldly affairs. Can it be fulfilled now?"

Mu Zihuai bowed his hands and bowed deeply, not daring to face the emperor's wrath.

When Huangfu Yunhua heard what he said, he immediately became furious, and the good mood just now dissipated completely. He looked at Mu Zihuai as if he wanted to tie him up, so that he couldn't go anywhere.

"You want to leave me?"

The questioning tone made Muzi Huai Xinhu slightly moved, and then he regained his composure. "Your Majesty, this is the agreement you made with this minister."

"I don't remember!" Huangfu Yunhua stood up abruptly, and the pen holder on the table fell down and scattered into pieces. "I don't remember saying such a thing! You'd better not mention it again in the future!"

"Your Majesty..." Mu Zihuai opened his mouth to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Huangfu Yunhua who was furious.

"You go back first, don't mention what you said just now, I have decided today that you will be my prime minister, one person is under ten thousand people, and you are the only one." Huangfu Yunhua quickly finished speaking, and put it out He waved his hand, called two young eunuchs, and sent Mu Zihuai out.

The two little eunuchs were probably afraid that the emperor would be very frightened, and they kept saying that Mu Zihuai was still a little worried after being sent outside the palace. They left only after seeing Mu Zihuai's repeated assurances that nothing would happen.

Mu Zihuai walked along the road in front of the palace gate for a while, and found that the only place he could go was the Prince's Mansion, he sighed, and walked slowly towards the Minqing Palace.

It was already dusk at this time, there were a lot fewer people on the street, and it seemed a bit empty. As Mu Zihuai was walking, he found that there were two people following him carefully all the time.

Yu Dang, who originally thought it was another assassination attempt, saw the two strong men from the corner of his eye while turning the corner, and then remembered the two strong men who were him before. After double checking, he hid at the turn and stopped them.

"You two are the two strong men who rescued me last time?" Seeing their appearance, Mu Zihuai was already sure, and immediately bowed his hands to thank him. The wound on his waist was already scarred. If it weren't for the two people in front of him, he I'm afraid he's already dead.

The faces of the two people who were caught upright blushed a little, scratching their heads not knowing what to say.

"Why...don't you find out?" the shorter man said a little embarrassedly.

"Stupid, it must be because you were accidentally discovered by your husband." Another person answered immediately.

Mu Zihuai smiled slightly, and had a good impression of the pair of brothers. "By the way, I wanted to ask you guys before, you two look very familiar, I don't know where you met?"

The younger brother grinned and took a step forward, as if he wanted Mu Zihuai to see more clearly. "Mr. Mu, we met before, in Ji County. Our two brothers were sent to build river channels at that time, have you forgotten?"

Mu Zihuai suddenly realized that they were soldiers sent by the imperial court when he was in Ji County, and then thought: "But didn't you go to the frontier?"

"Back again..."

"Gangzheng! What did you tell you before you came here?" The taller man stopped sharply, preventing him from continuing. "This came back in secret. Why do you keep talking about it, afraid that not enough people know about it? Did you get punished enough last time?"

"Brother, it's my fault!" The person who was called Ah Zheng immediately stopped talking, not daring to speak any more.

Mu Zihuai was stunned to the side, the whole portrait was hit hard, his face that was smiling just now became stiff, changed into an expression of indifference, he turned and left.

"Hey, Mr. Ren, why are you leaving?" Seeing that the general asked the protector to turn his face away suddenly, Gang Zheng called him strangely, but he didn't get any response.

He called a few more times, and seeing Mu Zihuai walking faster, he wisely stopped talking.

Mu Zihuai rushed forward with all his strength, trying to throw the two people behind him far away.He didn't even recognize these two people, the Gang brothers, the people who killed Lao Yan back then.I thought that these two people would go to the frontier to guard the country, so I let them go, but I didn't expect them to come back again.

Take a closer look, although the appearance has changed a little, but the facial features are still the same as before, and I still treat them as lifesavers all the time.

absurd!

Mu Zihuai walked faster, and the two people followed closely behind him, probably because he knew that he had been discovered and there was no way to hide his figure, but kept a distance that was not too close or too far.

Back then, the two of them went to the frontier with that group of troops. Although they were still under Long Xiu's name, they were actually led by Gu Li.It may have been a while since they came back this time, and they were secretly transferred back for the sake of the prince's successful enthronement?Is it Gu Li, Long Xiu, or the order of the two?Could it be that the general they were talking about was Long Xiu?

Mu Zihuai frantically walked all the way to the prince's mansion, and hurried in the door. Even the guard at the door didn't respond to his greetings. It was not until Yixiangyuan that he gradually calmed down.

After dinner, Mu Zihuai thought about it and made up his mind to go to Long Xiu tomorrow.

As soon as the decision was made, Qingyi came to inform the father-in-law who delivered the imperial decree that he had arrived and was waiting in the front hall.

Mu Zihuai's heart sank, but he straightened his clothes and went forward. He saw an unfamiliar father-in-law standing in the middle of the hall with a dust in one hand and an imperial decree in the other. Seeing Mu Zihuai coming in, he smiled flatteringly.

"Lord Mu, I have followed the emperor's order to pass on the imperial decree. Everyone kneels and listens."

Mu Zihuai lifted his clothes and knelt down, bowing his head and listening carefully.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Mu Zihuai, deputy academician of the Imperial Academy, is extremely talented, courageous and resourceful, and is the pillar of the imperial court. He also does his best to accomplish things, is diligent and conscientious, and is a model for all officials. Specially ordered him From now on, the official will be promoted to the prime minister, and the power of left and right will be combined. From now on, we will lead all the officials to work for the country and the people, and seek strategies for the prosperity of the country. Change the Minqing palace to the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister's mansion, and give a thousand taels of gold. This is my honor."

After the father-in-law read it, the smile on his face became more flattering, and he stepped forward to help Mu Zihuai you up, and handed over the imperial edict to him personally. "Congratulations, Master Mu, you can see for yourself."

Mu Zihuai's face was definitely not good. He didn't expect the emperor to move so fast. Was it because he was afraid that he would run away overnight?

The father-in-law has been walking in the palace for many years, and he has always received rewards for passing imperial decrees, especially this time directly appointing a fifth-rank official as the prime minister, that is great news, and rewards are indispensable.Unexpectedly, there was no joy on the other party's face, but an unhappy expression, and he didn't intend to send someone to give a reward, so his face suddenly turned down a little.

Mu Zihuai took the imperial decree without looking at it, and returned it directly to the father-in-law, and called Qingyi to give the reward money, and the father-in-law left with a smile on his face.

"So from now on, sir will be the prime minister?" Qingyi walked behind Mu Zihuai, not aware of his ups and downs, and said happily, "Isn't it true that one person is below ten thousand?"

Mu Zihuai ignored Qingyi's words, and walked all the way back to Yixiang Garden. He didn't meet anyone on the road. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the princess and a group of maids also entered the palace. It is deserted.

From now on, this Minqing Prince's Mansion will not be called Wang's Mansion anymore, it will become Mu Zihuai's own mansion from tomorrow, and it will have a famous name, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The next day, Mu Zihuai went directly to the palace, and the gate of the palace was closely checked. Fortunately, Mu Zihuai was now the prime minister, and ordinary people would not stop him.

Long Xiu is now a hussar general, I don't know if the emperor kept Long Xiu in the palace for the sake of safety or for other reasons, and did not let him go back to the frontier.

When Mu Zihuai followed the guards at the gate of Nanyuan, Long Xiuxiu was doing circles, his upper body was naked, revealing his strong muscles. He had been beating for a while, and his body was covered with beads of sweat.

"Long Xiu." Mu Zihuai asked the two guards to go back first, and called to stop Long Xiu, who was facing away from him.

"Mu Zihuai?" Long Xiu turned his head, his face was covered with sweat, he was taken aback when he saw Mu Zihuai, he didn't expect him to come over, he quickly wiped off the sweat from his body, took a piece of clothing and put it on. "You looking for me?"

Mu Zihuai nodded, walked into the room together with him, and said seriously: "I'm looking for you today, there are two things."

Seeing his serious face, Long Xiu couldn't help but take it seriously. "What's up?"

"Are those soldiers brought back from the frontier by you?"

"Did you find the two of them?" Long Xiu immediately turned his head and asked directly. Before Mu Zihuai could answer, he yelled at the door: "Come out!"

After yelling orders, two strong men appeared at the door, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise their heads. "General."

When Mu Zihuai saw the Gang brothers, even though he knew that the two had been following him, he felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

"It was our negligence, and we are willing to accept the punishment." The older brother Gang Ping pleaded guilty without any complaints.

"Go and receive the punishment yourself."

The younger brother Gangzheng wanted to speak, but was held back by his elder brother, and he walked out reluctantly.

Mu Zihuai saw that the two of them were about to look a little depressed, so the punishment was so terrible?Thinking about it this way, Mu Zihuai felt that it was unreasonable for him to come out like this. As far as this matter is concerned, he couldn't blame them at all, so he quickly persuaded: "Long Xiu, I'm not here to blame you, nor are I here to blame them. They made no mistake."

Long Xiu glanced at him, but he didn't let go. Seeing that the two brothers saw that there was room for retaliation, they still stood at the door and refused to leave, and even told them to be punished. Then he said to Mu Zihuai: " I only recalled 50 people from the frontier this time, in order not to be discovered, but I didn’t expect them to hide it from you, and if you let it go, something will happen sooner or later.”

Mu Zihuai pondered for a moment, then asked again: "The day the emperor ascended the throne, those troops were not yours?"

"No." Long Xiu said with a smile: "If so many people were called back from the frontier, the late emperor would have discovered it long ago."

That is the prince's own army. I don't know when he cultivated it, but it is so well hidden.

Mu Zihuai secretly thought, seeing Long Xiu kept smiling, he brought up another matter. "I have one more thing to do this time. You said before that you would clear up your father's grievances. Now that the emperor has appointed me as prime minister, I am finally able to help you."

Unexpectedly, Mu Zihuai still remembered this incident, and came to him specifically for this incident. Long Xiu was a little excited, "Do you still remember?"

"This is natural." Mu Zihuai said, thinking that Long Xiu was emotional because he could reverse the case for his father, and quickly told him the news of the previous investigation: "I checked the information of the year when I was in the Imperial Academy. There are still three officials under General Long’s subordinates. After General Long’s death, the late emperor seems to have found out the truth, otherwise he wouldn’t let you survive, and I’m afraid he has some intentions to make up for you if he keeps asking. Eunuch Li who was with the late emperor should have clues, as well as the Dali Temple officials who were in charge of the investigation back then."

"Then let's go and have a look now?" Long Xiu stood up, with a smile in his eyes, and finally showed an expression that belonged to his 20s.

"En." Mu Zihuai nodded along with you, and stood up, "Let's go to Dali Temple first. I have met Hong Shaoqing a few times in Dali Temple. Maybe I can ask him for help."

After all, Long Xiu changed his clothes and went to Dali Temple with Mu Zihuai.

The succession of the five princes of the first emperor to the common people, as long as it does not affect their lives, no matter who is the emperor, they don't care.

It's just that for other people, in this short period of one month, the candidates for the throne have been changed again and again, and their moods have also been ups and downs, and it was not until the last moment that they really fell to the bottom.

As a son-in-law, Chang originally thought that the eldest prince would be able to ascend to the throne, and spent most of his family's wealth to pave the way for him, and even went to marry the eighth princess. Even good officials and businessmen dare not associate with him.In just one month, the business plummeted, and the backlog of cloth shipped from overseas could not be sold, and the loss was lost.

I wanted to go to Yinzhuang to borrow some silver for two weeks, but I didn't expect to be rejected, and my nose was ashamed.

Mrs. Chang entered the room cursing, kicked a round stool and sat down, poured a cup of tea into it angrily, unexpectedly, the water in the teapot was boiling hot, which made him jump up immediately, waved the teacup on the table Sweep to the ground.

The beautiful woman who was about to come in at the door was startled, the smile on her face froze, and she walked towards Mrs. Chang. "Master, who made you angry?" Turning his eyes and seeing the tea on the ground smoking, he said immediately, "Who made the tea? Is it so hot that you want to burn someone to death?"

The little servant girl who had been standing by the side lowered her head, a little scared, but she was the only servant girl in the room, so she could only answer in a low voice: "It was the madam who made it..."

The glamorous woman's face suddenly became unhappy for a moment, and she said to Chang's coquettishly: "Sister, it's true, you put it here if you don't drink it, isn't this intentional to burn others? Master, how about I ask someone to get some ice cubes?" Help you get rid of the temperature?"

Chang didn't speak, and there was still anger on her face. At the beginning, she only married the eighth princess for the sake of the eldest prince's power. Unexpectedly, it has been almost half a year, and there is no news at all.Now that the eldest prince is dead, it happens that the eldest prince's nemesis ascended the throne. I don't know if he will deliberately make things difficult for him because of this matter?

"Where is madam now?"

The little maid was even more frightened, and replied in a softer voice: "Madam said she was a little tired, so she went back to her room."

Chang's stood up, turned around angrily and walked towards the bedroom.

The beautiful woman didn't keep up with her. She had long been displeased with that princess. During this period of time, the master happened to be angry. I'm afraid she won't have a good fruit this time.

Standing up and touching the bun on her head, the glamorous woman smiled coquettishly, and said to the maid in a happy mood: "Why are you standing there? Come and tidy up!"

Chang walked and thought about it all the way, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, remembering that she was ridiculed and neglected outside, but that person was lying on the bed and sleeping.

Even if they hadn't married her back then, the Chang family would not have fallen to this point, nor would they have been looked down upon by others, and they would not have been frightened.

He doesn't know how to please in bed, and he still looks reluctant. It's been half a year, and I'm afraid he is also a kind of stuff...

This person is useless at all!It is simply a disaster!You shouldn't have married her in the first place!

Pushing open the tightly closed door, Chang's eyes were red, looking for that unsightly figure in the dim room, striding towards the slightly bulging bed, and sure enough, she was lying leisurely on it.

The anger in her heart was even stronger, Chang's violently lifted her quilt, pulled the clothes of the still awake person on the bed, and took her off directly.

"You still know how to sleep? Bitch! What use are you for?"

Wenmei felt a burst of chest tightness and panic in the afternoon. In the past six months, her body has become very weak. She has been suffering from minor illnesses and feels tired even when she is sitting.

Instructed the servant girl to wake her up in the evening, Wen Mei had just laid down not long ago, and was awakened by a loud noise as soon as she fell asleep. look up.

"What are you looking at me for? Your brother is dead! You have no backer anymore! Am I still afraid of you?" Seeing her stubborn eyes, Mrs. Chang was even more furious when she remembered how she usually looked at her like this. Push back.

He lifted his foot and kicked it mercilessly, each kick was solid on Wenmei, seeing her lying on the ground motionless, Chang grabbed her by the hair and dragged her up, leaning close to her face to look at her. look.Seeing that her eyes were still open and looking at him with that look again, he pushed her back again, punching and kicking her, venting the anger in his heart.

Wenmei was pushed and bumped into a pillar, causing a huge pain in her chest. Before she had time to react, she was held down, her fist hit her back, her head, and her stomach was kicked until she lost all feeling.But the man was still venting tirelessly, countless fists mixed with verbal abuse landed on his body, and Wenmei's consciousness began to become dizzy.

Curled up to endure, Wenmei finally felt a little scared, if she was beaten like this, she would really die.

Startled by the thoughts in her heart, Wen Mei didn't know where the strength came from, and bit the leg next to her head hard, and stood up while the other party was howling, trying to run outside.

Just after taking a few steps, Chang's behind her noticed that she wanted to run, and regardless of the pain in her feet, she stepped forward and grabbed her by the hair, dragging her in through the door.

"You still want to run?" Chang Shi was furious, pulled her hair and threw her into the room, knocking over the tools on the table that she usually asks Mei to be a female celebrity.

The sharp scissors protruded from the basket, and Wen Mei slammed into them.

"Ah!" A piercing scream came through the wall.

Wenmei was lying on the ground covering her face, Chang didn't know why, thought she was playing tricks again, stepped forward and kicked her on the back. "Playing dead again? Get up! Get up!"

Wenmei curled up on the ground, not daring to move, sobbing softly.

Chang had no choice but to pull her up. Seeing that her hand covering her face was covered with blood, she brute force opened her hand, and saw a long wound on her face, starting from the left cheek. It crossed the bridge of the nose, all the way to the base of the right ear, across her entire face, the flesh turned up, looking a little scary.Even Chang Shi was taken aback and pushed her back again.

"You.....you hit it yourself..."

He took a few steps back, not daring to hit her again, and hurried out the door without saying a word.

In the middle of walking, Mrs. Chang stopped suddenly, and suddenly had an idea in her heart. After thinking about it several times, she felt that it was the best way now. Immediately, her mood improved, and her steps turned in one direction, towards the third aunt's bedroom. go.

Wen Mei was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. There was pain everywhere in her body, and the wound on her face was so painful that she dared not move.

"Ma'am!" The little maid who cleaned up the broken teacups was worried that the master would scold Madam, so she rushed all the way over. Seeing a few people whispering on the way, she had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, she saw a well-educated woman kneeling on the ground. , her usual neat bun was messy, her clothes were also messy, and she was stained with blood from nowhere.

He leaned forward and took a look. Madam's face was covered with bruises, and what was even more frightening was that there was a huge wound that was bleeding out continuously.

The little maid was startled and fell to the ground, trying to help Madam get up, but she didn't move, so she had to call another maid to help keep Madam under control, and turned to look for the doctor.

Running and worrying all the way, guilt mixed with panic, even started to cry.Looking at Madam's appearance, I'm afraid her face is ruined, but I didn't expect the master to hit him so cruelly.

Mu Zihuai and Long Xiu went to Dali Temple, and after questioning, Hong Shaoqing was indeed one of the officials who were in charge of investigating the murder of the Long family, so he immediately asked him to tell the whole story.

General Long, who was trusted by the late emperor, was impeached for corruption and bribery. In his anger, the late emperor ordered several gold medals to recall him, but General Long did not return. At that time, someone was provoking , Said that General Long absconded in fear of crime.

Only then did the first emperor tie up Mrs. Long and a pair of young children. Unexpectedly, the couple of the Long family committed suicide one after another in order to prove their innocence.Only then did the first emperor calm down and thoroughly investigate the matter. Facts have proved that General Long was framed by someone, but he was already dead. The people in the execution ground who questioned him at the time saw it with their own eyes. The former emperor had no choice but to make a mistake No matter how wrong I was, I tried my best to make it up to the Long family brothers, but unfortunately, the two disappeared within a few days.

Hong Shaoqing knew that Long Xiu was the son of General Long who died tragically back then, and he regretted it when he talked about the past. "If the truth had been found out earlier, it would have prevented a tragedy."

Long Xiu pursed his lips and said nothing, his face was expressionless, as long as he didn't tell others, no one would know what he was thinking.

"Hong Shaoqing, is the information from the original investigation still there?"

Hearing Mu Zihuai's question, Hong Shaoqing sighed and shook his head. "At the beginning, when I handed over the investigation results and materials to the late emperor, the late emperor ordered me not to tell others."

Mu Zihuai thought he had found a clue, but unexpectedly, he broke it again. With Hong Shaoqing alone, without evidence, it is impossible to reverse the case.Please tell Hong Shaoqing immediately if you think of anything, Mu Zihuai and Long Xiu can only leave.

There were two other officials who were in charge of investigating that matter, one of them was a eunuch who was next to the emperor at that time, and later he was promoted to the chief eunuch, and has been serving the emperor since then.But the other person resigned from office and returned to his hometown the year before last, and his family is actually in Ji County.

Huangfu Yunhua quickly glanced over the memorial in his hand, the anger in his eyes was even stronger, he didn't approve it, he just threw the memorial aside.

There are only less than ten memorials on the large table, half of them are for the new prime minister, and the others are all flashy words of praise, none of which are related to state affairs and public conditions.When the late emperor was there, there were hundreds of memorials that needed to be reviewed every day, not just these now.

After quickly reading the memorial on the table, Huangfu Yunhua flicked his sleeves and strode out of the imperial study.All the eligible concubines of the late emperor's harem were buried with them, and the rest were dismissed, taking a group of maids from the palace with them when they left. Now the palace seems a little deserted.

Huangfu Yunhua took a look and followed behind him all the time, he promoted the eunuch, walked quickly through the Jiaotai Hall and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Mu Zihuai and Long Xiu entered the palace. According to the rules of the palace, all qualified husbands lived in Yimuyuan at the back of the palace. Eunuch Li served the late emperor for many years. Now that the late emperor ascended the throne, he should move into Yimuyuan.

It was already afternoon at this time, worried about missing the last time of the palace ban, the two walked quickly, turned a corner, and bumped into Huangfu Yunhua who was walking in front of him.

"Zihuai? Why did you come to the palace?" Huangfu Yunhua stretched out his hand to stop him, with a smile on his face, thinking that Mu Zihuai might not enter the palace for a while after the edict was promulgated, but he didn't expect that the next day I saw him in the palace.Just about to speak happily, he saw Long Xiu behind Mu Zihuai, and his face sank slightly. "How did you enter the palace?"

Seeing that it was the emperor, Mu Zihuai clasped his fists in salute, and replied vaguely: "I have some matters to discuss with General Long." After speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye without waiting for the emperor's answer: "I will take my leave first, and please forgive me, Your Majesty." crime."

After crossing Huangfu Yunhua, Mu Zihuai ignored the emperor's answer and left directly.Long Xiu quickly cupped his fists to apologize, and quickly followed Mu Zihuai.

Huangfu Yunhua's face was unhappy, watching the two leave in a hurry, seeing that they were heading towards the harem, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, when did Mu Zihuai ignore him like this.After glancing at the accompanying eunuch who didn't dare to say a word, Huangfu Yunhua stepped up.

Mu Zihuai and Long Xiu walked through the palace of the harem, and went straight to the Yimu Courtyard at the end. When they got there, they saw that the empty Yimu Courtyard was deserted, the gate was half open, and the door was shaking and ready to fall down at any time.The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and it looked like it had been unoccupied for a while.

"How could it be abandoned? Where is Eunuch Li now?" Mu Zihuai glanced across the overturned stone table, which was different from the information he found.Since the first emperor died of illness, Eunuch Li retired from the position of head eunuch. Since he has not left the palace, it should be here, but it looks like it has been deserted for a year and a half.

"So you are looking for Eunuch Li." Huangfu Yunhua followed Mu Zihuai all the way, forgetting his original intention at the beginning, followed them to the long-abandoned Yimu Courtyard, and couldn't help but speak after hearing Mu Zihuai's words.

Mu Zihuai turned his head and saw that the emperor secretly followed him regardless of his status as the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

"You are looking for Eunuch Li, I know where it is." Seeing that Mu Zihuai did not speak to him, Huangfu Yunhua said again, standing outside the door and not coming in.

Mu Zihuai glanced at him again, remembering that the emperor passed away that day, the affairs in the palace were easy, and Eunuch Li was there at that time, maybe the emperor did know the whereabouts of Eunuch Li. "The emperor knows where Eunuch Li is?"

"Of course." Huangfu Yunhua blinked, without any majesty as an emperor. "I can tell you, but you also have to tell me, why are you looking for Eunuch Li?"

Mu Zihuai was worried that there were servants present and it would be inconvenient to speak, so he glanced at Long Xiu first, then walked over and whispered in Huangfu Yunhua's ear: "The previous agreement between the emperor and General Long was the business of General Long's father."

Huangfu Yunhua's expression was a little awkward, he stood up slightly and looked at Long Xiu. "Oh, I still remember this matter, and I will let people find out, so you don't have to run around."
